Chapter 328: Traveling in Darkness

Angor could barely sense the nightmare aura from his position. Luckily, he didn’t fall for too long, and a tiny trace of the aura was still left above him.
He didn’t know where this would take them. But he had no other choice.
He already assumed the worst, yet he couldn’t say it. Angor only smiled at Toby to comfort the bird. “Go that way. There must be a way out.”
“Tweet!” Toby didn’t sound pessimistic at all.
As he guided Toby’s flying course toward where the nightmare aura was richest, Angor slowly went over his current situation in his mind.
Before falling into the tunnel, he only had a very brief glimpse at his back and saw the silhouette of someone… no. That wasn’t “someone”, but a human-shaped skeleton.
He knew because the skeleton looked really impressive, in a weird way.
Sunders called back from a distance, “Angor’s in trouble. I’m checking him out!”
“Angor?” Devildare also put on a grim look. What about the nightmare tunnels if something happened to that boy?
Sunders already read Devildare’s mind. “The tunnels are already closed!”
“But you can’t leave me here!” Devildare yelled, “And-”
Who’s that “black” Sunders?
Devildare didn’t get to ask the question because Sunders already vanished from his sight.
Devildare growled and looked around. He saw the harp-wielding fox still alive. The animal was wounded a bit but nothing too serious.
However… the harp was still here!
As they speculated, this item might be a Mystery-level weapon!
And Sunders just, left it here? To help his student?
“So the rumor is correct. His new student is really special to him…”
But what exactly happened over there? Devildare suddenly got a bad feeling about it. There was one terrible possibility that lingered in his mind, and he hoped it was not the case.
…
Since the tunnels were closed off, the mist covering Twilight Well was also disappearing rapidly.
Sunders hopped among the buildings quickly and grew more and more worried as he watched the mist growing thinner and thinner. In the last second, before he lost contact with Angor, the boy sounded relaxed, which meant whatever happened was very serious.
According to Fox, Shava was “her grace” to the monsters. This meant “Shava” was a really important figure in the Nightmare Realm. Maybe someone powerful in the core regions of that place.
This was why the dragonflies would never harm Angor.
But something got Angor in the last second. It was obviously not the nightmare monsters who did it, which only left the possibility that someone else ambushed him.
“Such a pity. It seems my beloved disciple has been murdered… He cannot provide his body to my experiments now,” a low voice came from beside Sunders.
Sunders looked around and saw the “younger version” of himself, who had black eyes and crimson pupils.
“Return. You can’t show up in front of ordinary folks,” Sunders said as he reached out a hand and released a tiny vortex which “absorbed” his other self.
…
Soon, Sunders reached Lady’s Juice. As he expected, no one was here. There were no traces that indicated a fight.
Sunders’ eyes shone with the light of “Remove Delirium”, a level-1 spell, which looked through the history using information that remained at the scene.
But he got nothing. There was no useful lead.
The entire Lady’s Juice was clean. No energy ruptures, no foreign hormones.
It was exactly the cleanliness that told Sunders that someone plotted against Angor.
But who the culprit was didn’t matter for now. Angor would still question if Twilight attacked him, yet Sunders would not—killing an innocent wizard or two wouldn’t make a difference now.
